Good culture, no BS to put up with; pay is low

Pros

It seems like whether your management team is good or not is hit and miss; fortunately my team is amazing. There’s no drama to put up with, people respect each other and their contributions regardless of level or hierarchy, and everyone really only focuses on the job at hand rather than petty office politics. Work/life balance is great, 40 hour work week is pretty standard (which is rare for my expertise), and the fringe benefits are relatively good.

Cons

The pay is lower than market rate. I could probably go out in the market and get a $10-20k bump in pay. Additionally, the incentive compensation structure is a joke: whether you receive a bonus is dependent on the overall company’s performance rather than on factors directly within your control, and obviously the company as a whole didn’t do too well for the past performance period because of various COVID issues. Basically my bonus is based on luck since my role doesn’t directly contribute to any of the KPIs the bonus is based off of, which kind of defeats the purpose of calling it “incentive” compensation.

Pros

Employees were great to work with and do very well supporting one another. They always did their their best to respect one another and made sure that everyone had a voice.

Cons

Executive leadership at the time I was there put "numbers" first then the people. It should always be people first then "numbers".
